lyrics

howling voices screaming tired narration
never thinking to stop
we are mourning in this hollow vacuum
where the silence gives us up

empty seconds expand the distance
as the city cries out
drifting away, I let go of your hand
as the city cries out

for loss and light
cold hands spread out
moving out voices into frozen air
evaporating into the night

about

The Contortionist London, UK

The Contortionist is me, Andy Hirst; usually alone, but sometimes with friends. We even had a proper band for a while (The Contortionist and The Wandering Boy Poets).

I've been in a load of bands over the years playing various things: drums in Nixon, The Broken Chairs, and The Purgatory Players, guitar in Situationists, guitar/keys/vocals in Japanese Sleepers and Fall Forwards.
